Gloves: the Sidea selection

Not all combat fitness gloves are the same. From a 12 oz boxing glove built to absorb repeated impacts to a neoprene glove designed for circuit training, right through to gel-shock models for high-intensity bag work, the structural differences are substantial. What unites the Sidea selection is its professional focus: products designed to be used frequently and intensively in environments where hand protection is not a mere detail but a prerequisite for continuing to train.

Who is Gloves for?

The usage pattern varies considerably depending on the context. In a Combat Fitness Studio For dedicated training, 12 oz gloves are the essential piece of kit for anyone working on a punching bag, a pao or with a partner. Fitness coaches who incorporate boxing conditioning into their strength and endurance programmes need gloves that are quick to put on and take off, such as gel or neoprene models, which are also suitable for those who do not train exclusively with punches but use the punching bag as a tool for metabolic conditioning.

CrossFit boxes that offer WODs involving bag work or circuit boxing find gel shock gloves a practical solution: adequate protection without the need for a full boxing set-up. Even in a well-equipped home gym, where a punching bag is often part of the set-up, having a pair of neoprene or gel gloves to hand makes a real difference compared to training bare-handed.

How to choose

The first criterion is the type of impact. For technical work on a heavy bag, light sparring or prolonged sessions on the mitts, the classic boxing glove (12 oz) provides the necessary padding to distribute the load across the wrist joint and the knuckles. For short but high-intensity workouts, conditioning sessions with interval training on the heavy bag or mixed circuit training, gel-shock or neoprene gloves reduce transition times and are better suited to those who change stations frequently.

The second criterion is how long they’ll last. Anyone who uses gloves on a daily basis with multiple users — such as group exercise instructors or personal trainers with several clients a day — should assess the strength of the stitching and the quality of the lining. Neoprene gloves tend to be easier to clean; synthetic leather gloves require more maintenance but last longer under intense use.

Thirdly: the size. A glove that is too loose loses its protective effectiveness; one that is too tight causes strain on the hand during long sessions. Most professional models come in standard sizes (S/M/L or measurements in ounces for boxing gloves), and it is worth considering whether or not you plan to wear hand wraps under the gloves, as this affects the required internal volume.

Domande frequenti - Gloves

  • Traditional boxing gloves, such as the 12 oz models, have thicker padding and are designed for prolonged technical sessions, intense bag work and sparring. Gel gloves offer more compact protection thanks to the inclusion of shock-absorbing gel: they are quicker to put on and are suitable for circuit training, mixed conditioning and short bag sessions involving a rotation through multiple stations.
  • Yes, neoprene gloves are often the most practical choice for those new to fitness boxing who have no technical boxing background. They are comfortable, easy to put on even without bandages, and offer sufficient protection for sessions on light and medium-weight punching bags. For those increasing the volume and intensity of their training, the switch to a structured boxing glove becomes necessary to properly protect the wrist and knuckles.
  • It depends on the intensity and duration of the session. For technical bag work or sessions lasting longer than 20–30 minutes, wraps or inner gloves protect the metacarpals and stabilise the wrist in a way that a boxing glove alone cannot guarantee. For short conditioning sessions using gel or neoprene gloves, many athletes prefer to leave them out for practical reasons, accepting a slightly reduced level of protection.
  • After each session, it is important to air out the inside of the gloves, avoiding leaving them in a closed bag. Neoprene gloves can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Synthetic leather gloves benefit from being cleaned periodically with specialist products. Accumulated moisture is the main cause of wear and tear: placing absorbent pads or cedar balls inside the gloves between sessions will extend their lifespan.
  • The gloves in the Sidea range are designed for fitness and athletic conditioning, not for self-defence or regulated competitive sport. They are suitable for bag work, boxing conditioning sessions, circuit training and functional training with a punching bag. For specific competitive uses, please check compliance with the relevant governing body regulations.
  • For most uses in a fitness gym setting — bag work on a heavy bag, pao work with an instructor, conditioning sessions — the 12 oz gloves are the most versatile option. Lighter models (8–10 oz) are typically used in competitive boxing; heavier ones (14–16 oz) are used for technical sparring. The 12 oz gloves strike the right balance between protection and speed of execution for non-competitive fitness boxing.
